I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
I recommend that you first model the activities to the class and then let the children explore.

This is Level 6: Symbols
I have compiled the list of National Curriculum Spellings for Years 3 and 4 and created a bank of short spelling sessions. This resource is designed to encourage children to understand the origin of spellings and help create meaning for spelling sessions. Each spelling has at least two slides/pages and I have defined, explored and used fun facts to make spelling more memorable. Some spellings come with a short jotter task.
This is Term 1
I have broken them down into terms which should ensure that the word list is covered over the year. The resource is alphabetical and covers spellings A-C. I have created this resource in PDF and Activ Inspire Format.

As a SENCo I found this particually useful to map out the provision we offer our pupils at my current school.
The web is broken into 6 sections of learning:
Individualised Support
Indentification of needs
Quality First Teaching
Extra Curricular Provision
Interventions
Communication
The provision we the provide is colour coded. This is great for parents and visitors to our website to get a clear overview of provision.
This has been created on PowerPoint and is therefore editable.

Three lessons around the King’s Coronation
All year groups
Objective: To introduce students to the coronation ceremony of King Charles III and explore the biblical references in the ceremony.
Teaching prompts, scripture, role-play activities
Working in a Catholic school, this is a great resource to see how events in society have reference to the bible and it allows for an analysis on three different pieces of scripture.

The reports ahve an introduction that briefly outlined the contents of the report, followed by sections on the history and construction of the Titanic, the disaster that led to its sinking, and the aftermath of the tragedy. The report concludes by reminding the reader of the importance of safety rules and valuing human life.
In terms of grammatical features, I have used a range of adverbs and adjectives to add detail and description to the report. I have also used subordinate clauses to provide additional information and structure the report. Additionally, I have used a variety of punctuation, such as commas and colons, to separate ideas and create clarity in the text. .
8 documents
19 model texts for years 3 to 6 on flashbacks, diary entries, newspapers and non-chronological reports.
4 different planning templates for writing,
This bundle contains progressive vocabulary lists fro Art, DT, Geography and History.
The lists are progressive across years 1 to 6. The new vocabulary children should learn each year is highlighted in green and the vocabulary from previous years is in purple.
This resource was designed as a document for OFSTED, SLT and middle leaders. I used it in my school as a guide for teachers to inform their planning.

6 progressive simple biographies of Prince Charles.
Questions and answers included.
6 diary entries in total. They can be used fro SEN children, differentiation or whole school teaching. Here is a summary of the Year 6 diary entry written from the point of view of a survivor of the Titanic:
Title: My Survival Story: The Titanic Disaster
Introduction:
The entry begins with the author introducing themselves as a survivor of the Titanic disaster. They describe how the voyage began with excitement and luxury, but ended in tragedy.
Description of the Voyage:
The author provides a detailed account of their experience on the ship. They describe the opulent surroundings, the variety of people on board, and the excitement of sailing on such a grand vessel.
The Sinking:
The author then describes the moment when the Titanic hit an iceberg and the chaos that ensued. They explain how they were separated from their family but eventually found each other on one of the lifeboats. They also talk about the eerie silence that descended as the ship sank.
Survival and Rescue:
The author goes on to describe the harrowing experience of being in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, and the relief of finally being rescued by the Carpathia. They explain how they were brought to New York City and reunited with their family.
Conclusion:
The entry ends with the author expressing their gratitude for surviving and acknowledging the many who were not so fortunate. They reflect on the impact that the disaster had on their life and the world as a whole, and how it remains a reminder of the fragility of life.
As a member of SLT, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list along with the History lead to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Some vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with KS1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green. The vocabulary in purple is repeated from the previous key stage.
This list can be used by:
Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school.
Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad art curriculum.
Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge.
Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum.
To ensure Art is linked to English and reading where possible.
Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic.
My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of art vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English.
This is a success criteria taken from the English National Curriculum for Year 6 writing.
It is designed in child-friendly language to allow children to self-assess their writing as they plan and write.
